## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON APRIL 23, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 2015 MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME, THE SUBJECT AIRCRAFT APPROACHED THE MORGAN COUNTY AIRPORT, 42U, FROM THE NORTHEAST AND DECIDED TO CIRCLE THE AIRFIELD AND CHECK THE WINDSOCK ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE FIELD.  THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY WIND ACTIVITY AND THE PILOT DECIDED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 21.  DURING LANDING ROLLOUT, THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO LIFT AND THE AIRCRAFT OSCILLATED TO FOUR TIMES.  ON THE FOURTH OSCILLATION, THE AIRCRAFT EXCITED THE RUNWAY IN A NORTHWESTERN HEADING.  THE PILOT DECIDED TO APPLY FULL POWER, INITIATE A TAKEOFF, AND GO AROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT, STILL OFF THE RUNWAY IN A NORTHWESTERN HEADING, INCREASED SPEED TO 62 KNOTS AND STARTED TO LIFT OFF.  THE LEFT WING OUTBOARD LEADING EDGE CONTACTED A SMALL TREE; THE RIGHT GEAR CONTACTED A DIRT BERM AND COLLAPSED.  THE RIGHT WING CONTACTED THE GROUND AND FOLDED UPWARD.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 77 YARDS FROM THE POINT IT EXITED THE RUNWAY.  ONE PERSON WAS ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT AND WAS NOT INJURED.
